"I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Sternberg. Once we started talking I knew I made the right choice in picking him. He made me feel incredibly comfortable. Especially about things I’m self conscious about. I went into the consult with 3 surgeries in mind. He was honest about what he thought I needed and surgeries I did not need. . He was candid, explained both procedures, recovery time, what results would be. Lisa (his nurse) who I met for pre op and was with me the morning of my procedure was wonderful. Surgery day went smooth well! Everyone on the operating team was kind and answered any questions I had. Ultimately I went with abdominal/hip liposuction over a tummy tuck. I could not be happier and I’m only 4 weeks post op."
"I had the most incredible experience with Dr. Sternberg at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery! From the very first consultation, he was kind, realistic, and refreshingly honest. He listened closely to what I wanted and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. His approach wasn’t about overselling procedures — in fact, he joked that I should just do squats instead of getting liposuction! That kind of candid, down-to-earth advice is rare and much appreciated. When it came to my breast implants, Dr. Sternberg did exactly what I asked for. He gave me a result that was natural and proportionate — making me feel like the best version of myself. He never pushed for anything excessive or unnatural, and I’m so thankful for that. He truly understands how to enhance your features in a way that feels right for you. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Sternberg and his team more. If you’re looking for a realistic, compassionate, and incredibly skilled surgeon, he’s the one to see!!"

"I went to my consultation with Dr. Hancock in May/June 2022. She was very nice and very informative on what she could offer me. She never tried to push anything else on me she listened to my concerns and I actually put my deposit down the same day. The staff at the office is absolutely amazing! When I had questions they always answered without hesitation, even my emails had a prompt response. I did get an abdominoplasty with liposuction! I’m still in love with my results! I would recommend Dr. Hancock and her team to anyone looking to get plastic surgery!"
"Having undergone a transformative procedure with Dr. Hancock on April 5th, I can't express enough how grateful I am for choosing her and PVPS. Five weeks into my recovery from a breast reduction and liposuction, I feel like a new person in my body. Dr. Hancock's warmth, expertise, and genuine care not only reassured me but also empowered me throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation to the day of surgery and beyond, she made sure I felt comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. Dr. Hancock is more than just a skilled surgeon; she's a beacon of compassion and understanding in the world of healthcare. Her gentle demeanor and unwavering support make her not just a doctor, but someone guiding you through a transformative journey. I felt extremely frightened, especially considering I was only 20 and facing such an invasive procedure but her expertise and genuine care, Dr. Hancock doesn't just change bodies; she changes lives. I also want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Lindsay, her nurse, who patiently addressed my countless questions and concerns with such kindness and professionalism. Moreover, the entire staff at PVPS played a crucial role in making this journey so positive and life-changing. To Dr. Hancock, Lindsay, and everyone at PVPS, thank you for not only enhancing my physical well-being but also for giving me a newfound confidence and joy in life. You've truly made a difference, and I'm forever grateful💗(100 out of 5 stars if I could)"

"Dr. Christopher Bates and his nurse Rosie Silva are the absolute best! From my first consultation through each follow-up appointment following my tummy tuck and liposuction surgery, they have made me feel like I was their only patient. Their professionalism and concern for how I was feeling following my surgery and the time they spent listening to me is something I've never encountered before in the healthcare industry. Anytime a call was made to the office with questions, I would receive an immediate phone call from Dr. Bates. I so appreciate Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery and each staff member I encountered treated me with such respect. To be honest, I love this practice and I share my experience when talking about my surgery with my family and friends. It's my honor to recommend Dr. Bates to anyone looking into having plastic surgery. You know, plastic surgery really isn't what they do...caring and concern for their patients, that's what they do!!!

"I had my first surgery here with Dr. Erez Sternberg and am so pleased with my results of liposuction and fat transfer to buttocks (bbl). He is very talented & he gave me my confidence back! The experience from my consultation to post surgery was great. I followed all the post op directions and recovered fairly quickly. He was honest and set realistic expectations with me from the beginning and I trusted he would delivery the results I desired. He certainly exceeded my expectations. The practice itself is beautiful and the nurses were very helpful in answering my pre op and post op questions. All in all this was a really positive experience for me. Thank you Dr. Sternberg for your amazing work!"
"First-time cosmetic surgery patient; first-time surgery/anesthesia patient Period! My Dr. & staff met me at my level of experience, ignorance, & education regarding the procedure. This journey began with a dreams convo with the hubby & evolved to the results I’ll share in pictures. After hubby’s homework, we choose Dr. Sternberg of Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery. We completed an initial consultation, received quotes for several options we were considering, & made a decision within the next week or so. I’ll credit our decisiveness to Dr. Sternberg’s professionalism, expertise AND my husband’s due diligence with researching doctor’s credentials, years of experience, etc. Reviews were considered as well, but we had to consider that results are based on the individual. Any reviews we found for our doctor was nothing but positive. So, we decided on a mommy makeover-Abdominoplasty with Liposuction and Breast Augmentation/Lift with Liposuction Surgeries. After the consult, I had pre-operative appointment to sign my life away (lol)-mostly medical awareness, precautions, & pre-/post-op instructions.The only significant preparations I made were adjusting my work schedule & sending my toddler to my in-laws. My husband & other children picked up the slack during my downtime. This is important to keep in mind; while this is elective in nature, it is still a REAL medical procedure that will require some alterations to your normal schedule. I also purchased post-op meds, stocked on water/Gatorade, & altered diet items (broth, soup, applesauce, jello).I dressed in what I would need to wear home post-surgery-a front-zipped-down mumu, a long-sleeved front-button-down nightgown, oversized jogging pants, fuzzy socks (to keep on during surgery), comfy slippers, a scarf, & beanie (it was freezing the day of and after).My surgery took a total of 6 hours, but I probably wasn’t fully aware that it was over until about 1 hr 15min later. I was so cold & shivering because naturally the temperature is very low in the surgery room. I was also a little disoriented from the anesthesia-I began talking myself through what I slowly began remembering was happening. I was also talking my self out of what I thought was hearing from a nearby patient to be death-talk. Again, it was from the anesthesia-the more I became aware, the less disoriented I was. Because of the complexity of my surgery, I was an overnight stay but successfully discharged the next morning. The entire experience was very personal, seamless, and discreet. 5 weeks, 4 post-op visits later & I’m healing well and cleared to return to normal activities. My abs are still not 100% cleared (this is usually an 8-week healing process, per Dr.). Otherwise, I’m returning to as much normalcy with minimum aches and NO complications. I’d recommend Dr. Sternberg hands-down!"
"It’s my time - I have two beautiful children who stretched me beyond belief while pregnant with them. I’m 5’1 pre-baby body I weighed 115 lbs. After my first child I topped the scale at 186 lbs. and after I had my second child I vowed I’d work hard, clean up my diet and lose the weight. I obsessively worked myself down to 107 lbs but now comfortably at 130 lbs. I’m happy at my weight but my stomach and stretch marks make me feel self conscious, unattractive and overall ugly. I’m finally at a point in my life where I’m physically, mentally, and financially ready to take on a major surgery. I did my homework and interviewed many doctors before I found the one who I feel is the best fit for me. I’ve scheduled my mommy makeover (abdominoplasty w/muscle repair, mastopexy w/o implants, and lipo to the hips,) with Dr. Cayce Rumsey at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery. He made me feel comfortable, treated me like family and gave me his expert opinion. I went in considering adding implants but he advised against it because of my body’s natural shape and amount of tissue I already have; it just wouldn’t look right over time and I wouldn’t be happy. Which would possibly lead to another surgery down the road. I loved that he kept it real. All the other doctors I spoke with wanted me to do it and didn’t really care about anything I said in the room. Dr. Rumsey and his staff listened to me and I’m sure are going to give me the best treatment and outcome I could ever hope for. I also love the fact that no matter what, I can call and talk to either Beth or Melissa. They are there to answer all of my silly or in depth questions. I’m 4 weeks out from my post op appointment and I’ll update my journey as I go. Wish me luck!!Updated on 15 Apr 2019:My beautifully stretched out mom stomach now sits a little off center. Muscles could use some reinforcements... Utters used to feed my youngins needs some lifting to help stand at attention once again. Liposuction on my love handles because, why not?"
"Liposuction and unilateral labiaplasty. - I have decided to have liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, bra area, and outer thighs. I actually decided to add this procedure to my original decision to have a labiaplasty. One side of my inner labia has always been slightly larger than the other. This constantly bothers me and I have finally decided to do something about it. I also have a general dislike of my stomach. So I decided while I’m under for the labia plasty I might as well go ahead and have my problem areas taken care of as well. I decided to go with Dr Sternberg, as he did my breast implant exchange and lift. I love my breasts and trust he will do amazing with the rest of my body as well. I will update with before pictures soon.Updated on 26 Apr 2018:My surgery was on Monday April 23. So I am not sure if I am 3 or 4 days post op. Have had a few ups and downs. But overall I think it is going well. My friend came over and stayed with me the first night. So I had my husband here and my friend here 24/7 for about two days, Helping me with anything I needed. Lots of swelling, and bruising. But not the worst thing I have been through. I had a weird sensation in my leg and my Dr thought it may be a dvt forming, so I did go to the emergency room, and everything was fine. They believed the sensation in my leg was from the garment I have to wear. I am super swollen, but even with the swelling I can see a difference already. I cannot wait to see the final results. Attached are pics from the day before and then today. Updated on 1 May 2018:Went today for my 1 week post op appointment. Everything is going perfectly and Dr Sternberg said everything looks great. Still have some bruising and swelling as anticipated, but I am feeling better every day. My body shape is looking so perfect. My labiaplasty has come out amazing. I figured it would be somewhat symmetrical, but it is exactly the same. Amazing! Couldn’t be happier with his quality of work. He is an artist. And I would say no other plastic surgeon rivals him! He’s great. "

"No More Hanging Skin over my Beautiful Eyes! - Ponte Vedra Beach, FL - Everything was perfect! I chose Dr. Scioscia at the recommendation of a friend. - - I would highly recommend this surgery to anyone who wishes to take 10 years off their age! It looks and feels so natural that no one actually guessed that I had cosmetic surgery. I wish I had done it earlier. When I went to see Dr. Scioscia I thought I needed more than the upper lids done but he didn't think so. I also had some liposuction done under my chin as well as some erbium laser on the lower part of my face. Thanks Dr. Scioscia!"
